Daytona Florida's annual Turkey Run, hot rod show

You and I must love the same sort of unusual stuff, and hot rods, and race stuff... or we wouldn't both look at the stuff I have here, right?

Well, you will enjoy his writing more, and his photos just as much, and for a great description by one who's been there, let me turn you over to John at http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2008/08/eye-candy-at-turkey-rod-run.html

Cool light green, wonder what it started as? Early 50 shoebox Ford? I was close! It's a 49 Aussie Ford Ute... Thanks to Dan for knowing right where to get the story... in Mike Kelly’s Cruise News, author Ken Caskey of Kidd Darrin’s Restorations & Custom Built Cars in Melbourne, Florida spotlighted the Ford Ute. http://www.cruisenewsonline.com/49FordUteAustralianUtility/49FordUteAustralianUtilityFeature.html
Hot rodded Chrysler Airflow or Airstream!
Ummm, Opel? Alfa? Nope... Dan got this one too! First the Ute then this one! Man's on a roll... this is a Saab 96... for a photo of a stock one to compare it with http://www.saabhistory.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/saab_96_rac_front.jpg

  5. I am looking for some history on the 1988 Turkey Run. Any ideas where I could start? I am looking for details about a '29 Ford Model A Roadster that was given away. Any help is appreciated. The car was built by Magoos and upholstry by Denny Nish with all the B & M accessories and transmission. Thanks...
